Anyone gone to the actual falls, lodge, diner etc they filmed Twin Peaks at?

I'm doing a two week road trip through the PNW in late September and thinking of checking them out. Worth it?

If I go to the diner and order a cup of coffee and say drat fine cup of coffee how hard will they roll their eyes haha?

I just did this a few months ago. The Double R (aka Tweed’s Cafe is about a ten minute drive from Snoqualmie Falls and there are a few iconic spots in between. All that’s about a half hour drive west of Seattle. The Great Northern inside locations, the beach where they found Laura and the Martell’s place are all at one location east of Seattle by about thirty minutes. That’s a wedding venue so you may wanna call ahead.

I say do it. I had a really great time driving around there. Forks, WA, the Twilight town, is a good spot to crash if you’re interested in the Hoh Rainforest, and some great beaches which I would recommend.

I do think that ending is showing the scary unknowable nature of things, and it's pretty intense. Existential terror. But still I do think it's somehow a more okay cliffhanger than the iconic season 2 one to leave off on.

But it sure would rule if we don't leave off there just yet.

It's more okay because it's exactly how Lynch chose to end the series when given 18 hours to do whatever he wanted. I think one of his goals with the ending was to restore the aura of mystery to Laura Palmer, to make up for being forced to reveal her killer back in the original series.

A show about Dougie's neighbor and every week we're sure we're gonna see Dougie, Janey-E or Sonny Jim but we never actually do. Also the show is fantastic and everybody loves the new characters. In the end it turns out they're not even in Vegas.

Pull me out

I found out that two of my friends have seen and enjoyed the first two series and have not seen The Return.

We watched Fire Walk With Me and the first 4 episodes yesterday and they are hooked. At that pace we're definitely going to hit episode 8 when we next get together and I'm so excited to live vicariously.

Their reaction to the first two episodes was "this is great but it's so dark" and then Dougie rolls in for episode 3

It looks cool but I've been hurt so many times by getting on a crazy show early and only having it ripped away form me. Raised by Wolves most recently.

I only watched Outer Range because I thought it was a limited series but it will probably be cancelled too :(

Small clarification, the cities used as sets for Twin Peaks are all east of Seattle. Olympic national part is west, and is great as the poster says (although there's like zero good restaurants in the entire Olympic peninsula imo), but unrelated to TP.

Forks is about 3 hours west of Snoqualmie, and is famous for being the setting of an series that in some ways, like number of letters in the title, almost equals Twin Peaks.

Watching it week to week, I hated the episode. Once all of the season dropped, and I could binge them as an 18 hour movie, I was mesmerized.

There was a break after episode 8 and I was relieved to have it, because I felt like I needed a couple of weeks just to let it sink in some more before picking things back up. When I rewatched it as part of a full Twin Peaks rewatch, it was just as magical as before.

Anyway, here's David Lynch directing part of the episode!

I love that he calls the lighting guy over and begins his instruction with,"I grew up in the 50s, in the desert...."

Episode 8 was incredible and I loving loved watching it live with my wife. Our eyeballs were loving glued to the TV with the occasional 'what the gently caress' muttered multiple times during the entire thing.

The break after episode 8 was honestly a masterstroke. After that episode I had no loving idea what was going to happen (not like I knew anyway), but I knew I wanted more. After you go David Lynch you really can't go back. I'm always chasing that dragon of episode 8.

The last time I saw Lost Highway was...god, probably around the time The Return was airing? So it's been a handful of years for me. I don't remember liking it as much as Mulholland Drive for example, but I have been itching to rewatch it for a while. It's not out on 4K Blu-Ray (yet) and I don't even think you can rent it digitally. The Blu-Ray is a little under :10bux: on Amazon, so I probably should've just bought that. Oh well. Now I'll get to see it on a theater screen!

My personal favorite to least favorite*:

Eraserhead / FWWM tied for first
Lost Highway
Mulholland Drive
Blue Velvet
Wild at Heart
Straight Story
Inland Empire

*Excluding Dune and Elephant Man

IE is the only one I’ve seen once, and it was a long time ago, but I didn’t really enjoy it, despite loving the entire cast. Need to revisit and make sure my list is still on point.

One of the best thing about Lynch is that pretty much any order is valid. Don’t prove me wrong though.

This is kind of how I feel. All the elements of things I love are there … and at the risk of being crass, lots of Laura Dern boobies … which I couldn’t be more into. But it’s never resonated with me like the rest of them have.

When I saw Lost Highway as a youth I was like “haha cool weird movie!” because I was an arty kid who watched stuff like that. But now when I watch it it’s completely explicable, and probably Lynch’s most straightforward film (other than the straight story).

The soundtrack couldn’t be more dated (in the best way possible)
